Subject Tutoring

Math

Although it may go unnoticed, math is all around us in everything we do. ALC tutors will design a customized program based on the system already in place at your student's school, thereby lowering the anxiety and stress that math problems and assignments often create. By using manipulatives and hands-on learning techniques, math problems will be presented in a variety of ways in order to ensure complete comprehension. Your student will leave ALC's program searching for more math problems to solve in their daily lives!

English/Reading/Language Arts

Literacy opens doors. Since studies show that development of key literacy components in the early years predicts later literary success, it is important to inspire children to become strong, confident readers when they are young. Let ALC support your child in building and applying a strong set of literary skills essential to their success. The results will last a lifetime!

Science

Science promotes an enriched, well-nourished mind. It is a place for curiosity, exploration, and discovery. ALC science tutors work with students to teach them the importance of observing, looking and listening. Students are taught to think like scientists: pay attention to detail, be patient and take a moment to notice surroundings, and become aware of new information. Sessions are built on the philosophy that inquiry leads to discussion and challenges us to dig deep for explanations. Therefore, our tutors are always receptive to questions and encourage further discussions. There is great value in this activation of higher level thinking skills. Let ALC provide your student with the valuable tools they need to research, explore, and understand the world around them – especially the unknown!

History

The average student views history as a class in memorization which often leads to frustration and low grades. ALC tutors work with students to help them understand the causal nature of history and how each event leads to the next. Tutors emphasize study skills, research skills, and writing which are essential elements to mastering any history class.

Foreign Language

Scientific research has proven that children are uniquely equipped to learn one or more languages with ease. Research also proves that young students who learn a language tend to have superior reading, writing, analytical and social skills, as well as more extensive vocabularies than their monolingual peers. Additionally, they score higher on standardized tests, are better problem solvers, and are more open to diversity. Early foreign language acquisition will materially contribute to your student's cognitive development and will give them an advantage in the future of our increasingly global marketplace. The one-on-one tutoring environment is ideal for foreign language instruction because it provides a comfortable setting in which your child can experiment with speaking and listening in another language. As your student becomes more comfortable and skilled in their language of study, they begin to respond using their second language. Individual tutoring creates the stress-free setting ideal for language study.
